" 'The marriage thing was never for me. Not sure why,' Hicks says. 'What was important was that the children carried their father's name and felt that they were the center of our world, which they are.' "
"My children have undoubtedly taught me more than I have taught them. They have taught me to shed any selfish expectations I may have had. They have taught me to live in the moment, with an awareness of what that present moment requires. And they have taught me a depth of love and understanding I never imagined possible.
Motherhood is a spiritual journey. It is a constant evolution, and at times an extremely worrying one. As I blindly lead my children through their early lives I am continually questioning myself about what I am teaching them, and my ability to be a parent, I think motherhood is about reaching a point where you can say, “I’m ok with who I am and the job I’m doing.
But remember life is short, so we should always wear our party pants...or hair."- India Hicks.

Lonny (September - October 2011)."King's Treat sits in the historic part of Dunmore Town, with views of the harbour, the sunset and the Fishermen's Dock. It stands in a large walled garden with verandas that are shaded by palm trees to the west, with an outdoor staircase and galleried terraces sheltered from the sun and the street by louvered panels. [It was] . . . the rather grand home of one of Harbour Island's sea captains of the 1890's, and it is now available for weekly rentals."

"Despite its laid-back atmosphere, the living room of King's Treat boasts touches of 1930s splendor. The room's black-painted floors, zebra-skin rug, and exaggerated sense of scale supply style without sacrificing comfort."

"Tropical greenery serves as a low-cost, sculptural substitute for flower arrangements, and vignettes create ideal opportunities for underscoring decorative motifs. Each of these groupings emphasizes King's Treat's unique personality and island setting."

"The desktop displays a photography of India Hick's most renowned relative, England's Queen Elizabeth II. Hicks' mother, Lady Pamela Hicks, is a first cousin to Her Majesty's husband, Prince Philip.
In keeping with Flint Wood's theme of cinematic nostalgia, an oil painting depicts Farah, Isak Dinesen's loyal servant from Out of Africa."

"King's Treat boasts a distinguished literary past. Writer Zoe Heller, author of the Man Booker Prize-winning novel Notes on a Scandal, lived here while at work on her latest novel, The Believers.
The house's accessories were carefully chosen to highlight elements of its history and style. Among the shelves' selections is a special Penguin Celebrations edition of Heller's Notes on a Scandal."

"The bathroom walls have been covered in paper that Flint Wood purchased from SkyMall magazine [World's Largest Write-On Map]. 'I bought it after seeing it in the magazine during a flight,' he says. 'I had it rolled up in my office for the longest time, trying to decide what to do with it. But when it came time to decorate the bathroom, it seemed perfect.' Its vibrant pattern gives the illusion of space, while providing visitors with a chance to chart their travels."

Brooke Shields and her husband Chris Henchy are friends with David Flint Wood and India Hicks.

So Flint Wood helped, and the results appeared in Architectural Digest in May 2012. Have a look . . .
